Engadin St. Moritz Mountains

The company that runs the lifts of the Upper Engadine, based on Via San Gian in St. Moritz: the Muottas Muragl funicular, Corviglia and other installations.

Who they are

Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG is the public limited company that operates the two mountains of St. Moritz: Corviglia and Muottas Muragl. It has its head office at Via San Gian 30 in St. Moritz and, according to its website, dates back to 1907. It works in a region presented as the cradle of winter tourism: it was here that the hotelier Johannes Badrutt began winter tourism in 1864, and the village has hosted two Winter Olympics and five World Ski Championships. The company employs about 200 people all year, rising to about 460 in winter. Besides the lifts, it runs two hotels, the Romantik Hotel Muottas Muragl, at the top of that mountain, and the ALL IN ONE HOTEL INN LODGE in Celerina, and several mountain restaurants, including Marguns, White Marmot and Piz Nair 10,000 Feet, at Corviglia.

What it offers and when

In winter, the company operates two cable cars, three funiculars, one gondola, twelve chairlifts and five drag lifts. Corviglia is the mountain for skiing and snowboarding, with the Piz Nair cable car and the Marguns gondola, as well as winter trails. Muottas Muragl is the quiet mountain: sledging run, snow walks, snowshoe routes and a play area for children. There is also a night-time sledging descent in Celerina and a calendar of events, such as the season opening or sunrise on Piz Nair.

In summer two cable cars, one gondola, three funiculars and two chairlifts operate. The historic Muottas Muragl funicular goes up to a panoramic viewpoint, and hiking trails start from both mountains. At Corviglia there are mountain-bike routes and a scooter descent from Marguns to Celerina; trail running, paragliding and hang gliding are also practised, and there is a panoramic swing. There are children's play areas at Muottas Muragl and at Marguns. The website shows in real time which installations and bike trails are open, but does not publish the closing dates of each season on its front page.
